Pack Shelter Black MD by Arcteryx

Bought this for a backpacking trip to Kauai. Thankfully didn't need it on the trip, but I've needed other times and it worked well. Fits perfectly into its bag and is super lightweight and compact. Perfect for my beloved Arcteryx backpack.

Does the job, but nothing special. It really isn't much more expensive that other backpack rain covers, so if you have an arc'teryx pack you may as well get this just to be sure it will fit your pack properly. I recently backpacked through rain and my three friends all had different shelter (Osprey, Gregory, REI) and they all held up great and had their only little things that were neat. I was kind of annoyed with the length of the straps, they're long as hell, but I guess it's better than them being to short as you can always cut them. Overall, it's a simple product and that's all that it's intended to be. Nothing wrong with it, it just didn't seem to have anything special that compelled me towards a 5 star.

It really is not expensive for many other backpack raincoats, so if you have an arc'teryx bag, you can get it right just to make sure it will fit your bag.
